Tofu Tagine with Apricots, Almonds and Cashews
I’m still here!! Barely… It has been a very interesting week. My husband is a welder/construction worker, so he doesn’t get a whole lot of time at home. I had just gotten used to him working 6 days a week, 10 hours a day when suddenly he decided to take some vacation time and he […]
Chao Stuffed Italian Burgers with Zucchini Fries
One of the things I enjoy doing the most each week is sitting down and planning menus for the following week. I print out the list of fruits and veggies I am going to receive in my produce box, take inventory of what I need to use out of the refrigerator and pantry, grab a […]
Chocolate Chip Pecan Waffles with Peanut Butter Mousse {whole grain spelt waffles)
Belgian waffles, what breakfast is more decadent? I love dense, rich waffles and sour cream is just the ticket to get the right texture and flavor. I have been making waffles with sour cream since long before I became vegan. It was a very pleasant surprise to find out that I could still make my […]
Slow-Cooker Garden Chili and Cinnamon Rolls
I think that a lot of people may find this combination to be rather odd, but cinnamon rolls and chili were a very usual meal for me during my teenage years (my high school cafeteria served it regularly). Many people from my hometown claim that this meal is unique to that particular city, so I […]
Slow-Cooker BBQ Seitan (Brisket Style)
A while back I posted a recipe for Vegan BBQ Brisket (Seitan). It was absolutely delicious, but I couldn’t resist revisiting the concept of a BBQ brisket made from seitan after I discovered how easy it is to make seitan roasts in a slow-cooker. My original recipe was prepared using the usual method of foil […]
Peanut Butter Fudge Swirl Cheesecake {gluten free, vegan}
One of the most common questions I get is “Where do you get your protein?”. Generally I rattle off the usual vegan protein list (tofu, quinoa, nuts, seeds, legumes, whole grains, leafy greens, you know… the places where all those muscle-y animals like cows and gorillas get their proteins. To be specific, plants). Just to […]
Spicy Grilled Portabella Mushrooms with Garlic Mashers and Asparagus
I have the best husband in the world. I really couldn’t have ended up with a more perfect guy. We had an early anniversary celebration (Our real anniversary isn’t until June, but since we are moving to Seattle in June we thought it would be fun to go ahead and celebrate before the stress of […]
“These can’t be Vegan!” Hamburger Patties
Veggie burgers are a food item that can be filled with promise, and sometimes (often) end in tears of disappointment. They are rather like a doomed love affair. Most of the vegan burgers I have tried looked delicious on the package, but did not quite make the cut. With the exception of Field Roast’s new […]
Easy Spinach and Cheese Lasagna with Homemade Noodles {vegan, tofu ricotta}
Lasagna seems like such a complicated dish when one considers all the boiling of noodles, layering of ingredients, etc. The problem is, I really love lasagna. I am a really busy mother of a toddler though, so it was absolutely essential that I find a way to make a healthy, homemade lasagna that doesn’t take […]
Parmesan Tofu
This recipe was a happy accident. I had pressed some tofu, but had not planned anything else for dinner. It was one of those nights where I went in the kitchen, opened my refrigerator and pantry and let my imagination run away with me. My imagination can be brilliant, but also has a way of […]
